I appreciate any help that you may be able to offer in fixing them. Some details are missing and I'm sure some others are wrong. This is a work in progress based on my own research. Perhaps the details will inspire some further ROM development. Since development for my favourite phone has ground to a halt, I thought I'd put together a reference guide from everything I know about it. In other words, the partition table and layout between sk4g and sgs4g is the same: This is exactly the same as what we got for SGS4G.

If you do that, you can hold the battery in place with one hand and push the power button with the other. I used a little piece of wire tangled around the springy things, and taped down some solder braid on the pads. You can temporarily defeat that (like I did) by shorting out the two springy things (inside the circle in the attached picture) and the two circuit pads (inside the rectangle). If you are looking for a problem and have to keep trying to boot the phone to check things, you will get tired of putting on and taking off the back (the left side of the picture captioned "Lift the back off.") There is an interlock that prevents the phone from powering up unless the back is in place. You can then wiggle it free from the main chasis.Ģ. If you are just working on the LCD panel, you don't have to take out the screws shown in the picture with the caption "Remove the 4 screws marked with green arrows." You can instead open the LCD slider and take off two screws on the sides of the LCD. The guide that starts this thread is pretty good, with great pictures, and I have just a couple of notes that someone might find helpful:ġ. Thank you.im going to cc this to tmobile right now.I just spent a bunch of time messing around with my SK4G hardware, helped by this thread and by some YouTube videos of disassembly. Cause the sidekick has the memory of a flip phone… ooh and 1 more thing. (lol) and am I being greedy for saying this. Well basically make a larger screen BLACK G2 run on gingerbread. Like operating in and out of apps, and programs without closing or ending, and the trackball. Keep the same features the sidekick already has. And im assuming somebody owns the design because while there are a host of phones with keyboards… none I mean non compare to the raised keys of a sidekick. About 16-19 people and they ALL had blackberrys. I realized how retarded I looked when I went to dinner with some friends. Service(both actual data/phone coverage and customer support) is awful and suggestions that the 3G coverage are greatly exaggerated? My Sidekick does make for a lovely decorative paperweight though. Why would I purchase another Sidekick when support for it is nonexistent, Till this day my Sidekick LX can’t: bring up google without taking a minute or two- or even longer sometimes, refresh a page without taking a minute to do so, scale many, many, many websites for proper viewing or navigation, hold a call to save my life, hold a charge very long if i do choose to use the shoddy data service and even screen lock properly so I don’t dial people while I am walking.Įvery demonstration of Tmobile’s 3G failure has been met by profuse apologies and suggestions to upgrade to the new 4G sidekick that is coming out. It’s complete BS Tmobile can’t even get 3G right. I am now almost done with my two year contract and cannot believe these commercials I see about Tmobile being the “fastest growing 4G network”. ![]() That network upgrade was supposed to happen three months after the purchase of my Sidekick LX. When I choose the Sidekick LX over all the blackberries and basic phones (Androids weren’t on the market yet), the Tmobile Rep said that 3G service would be “blazing fast” and make social networking and browsing the web ridiculously easy. ![]() 1.5 years ago I had my Samsung stolen from me and I had to swap/upgrade my phone.
